Kim Randolph is a long-time San Francisco resident originally from Cleveland, Ohio. Music has always been a part of her life. As a child, Kim studied piano, ballet, guitar, and mandolin. She later studied violin at Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, and mridangam, a drum used in South Indian classical music, with Pt. Ramnad V. Raghavan, at Cleveland State University, hoping to one day become an ethnomusicologist, During this time, Kim was an avid listener and collector of jazz recordings, especially avant-garde classical and free jazz music.

Kim’s musical exploration has included bansuri (a classical Indian bamboo flute) trumpet, conga drums, bongos, and other hand percussion instruments in the search for a musical voice. Finding that conventional musical training didn’t satisfy her musical expression, KIm quit the study of music altogether.

Over the next 30 years, Kim studied macrobiotic cooking, chi gong, herbalism, and other unconventional healing modalities to heal herself from many immune deficiencies.

Kim’s interest in music led her to discover folk instruments, harkening back to her passion for world music beginning with the bamboo flute and improvised music. Four years ago, she embarked on a new musical and healing direction as a Sound Healer, doing a short stint at New MIssion Yoga offering yoga nidra (guided imagery) and soothing lyre music, Using her intuition, Kim was able to heal herself and holds a firm belief in anyone’s ability to self-heal through positive energy flow. Today, she plays bamboo and overtone flutes, lyre, hand pan, Udu (an African clay drum), Tibetan bowls, and other folk instruments and uses guided imagery and musical improvisation as a path to well-being.

Kim has played lyre at the Rhoda Goldman Plaza, Climate Control Gallery, and Mission Yoga; flute at Incline Gallery, Ruth's Table, and Adobe Books; hand pan at Analog Gallery, Open Studios at 1890 Bryant, and The African American Arts & Culture Complex. She holds a B.A from New College of California in Humanities.
